Psalm 20

Melody
Harmony
  1. O may the LORD in days of trouble
    from Zion hear your plea.
    With his support may you be able
    to gain the victory.
    May Jacob’s God remember ever
    your offerings of spices
    and from his dwelling look in favour
    on all your sacrifices.

  2. May all your heart’s desire be granted;
    may God fulfil your plans.
    May songs in celebration chanted
    your victory enhance.
    Then shall we praise the LORD so glorious,
    his holy name professing,
    and let our banners fly victorious.
    God crown your prayers with blessing.

  3. I know now that the LORD’s anointed
    will with his help be blest.
    He hears the one he has appointed
    and grants him his request.
    Yes, from his heaven high and holy
    his right hand strong and mighty
    shall curb the proud, exalt the lowly,
    and with great deeds delight me.

  4. Some boast of chariots, some of horses,
    but we boast in the name
    of him who rules all heaven’s forces,
    our God so great in fame.
    They will collapse and fall before us,
    but we shall rise undaunted.
    LORD, save the king, make him victorious,
    that so our prayers be granted.
